Very correct T.

On you next post about the a/e I also agree with that post.

It is frustrating to be at a stagnant carrier that just continues to reallocate assets...FTB was also spot on IMO ref the trip parking's contribution to the 777 shrinkage.

I'll believe we are getting aircraft when they are on the ramp in DAL paint,until then, I enjoy speculating as much as the next person.

That would be really nice. Out of curiosity, how much service did NWA have in those two HNL routes? Are there other Asia routes that were discontinued?

I was hired by DAL in 1969 so I am aware of a lot of Delta history, Northwest not so much, but I'd like to learn more.

You know I can't help but notice that the reallocation of assets is moving us into lower paying airframes slowly but surely. First 100 737's to replace 757's and possibly even a few larger a/c and now 777's seats moving to 330's.

However it is more seats so there is a silver lining.

Well that's a



Didn't think that we needed to scope deltanet photos. But then again why cover up reality.

Well, they're only lower paying airframes if we allow them to be. Looks like SWA figured that one out. If 73s replace 75's, then the pay rates should approximate. Same for the 330s and the 777. Its in our hands, not theirs.
